superuser.com/questions/856576/… this and the meta discussion comes up as really funny in my head, because everytime they have had a DMCA war google has joined the protest :-) SOPA blackout , google ticked off that they have to comply with removals etc. When it suits google they are all for "open". When it comes to protecting thier $$$ , and thier methods of delivery well , lets keep those rules.
I wouldnt touch the meta question, because i would have to show citations, but the Digital millenium copyright stuff many pages and layers deep, has in it wording that suggests the discussion of the decoding and decryping methods used , is not allowed. That the materials cannot BE protected if all the protection is defeated , by telling how it works and providing programatic ways to stop it from working, dissasembly and all
So while i think it sucks, and I rarely agree with Mokubais harshness :-) SU is probably "not the place" to dissasemble protection, and there are 500 other places you can get that info instead.
"I installed VLC and tried it. The video "plays," as in it progresses through the timeline and has the correct length, but there's no audio and the only video is the default VLC logo that shows when there's nothing playing." which could be a codec issue (very easily). Or could relate back to VLC themselves was hit with the DMCA . at least one time a decoding library thing for VLC was herassed and removed from distribution. the purpose of it was just one method for bypassing the protection.
If it is a codec issue, and they started a DRM war over it, user should be taken out back and given 50 lashes with a wet noodle
To boot a computer. I was playing in my computer, that time power has been cut off. When I start it again after power came I am unable to boot it. What can I do for this?
OK, the second monitor is my TV, but is Google onto me here?
Can youtube or other online streaming services detect when I'm video & audio outing my display as a second monitor via hdmi? Can they detect that and respond to it?
and if so, can I prevent them from having this information somehow s...
I'm curious if these exists an enterprise 3.5-inch solid-state drive with extremely high storage density, as in 16 TB or more of NAND in a large stack of PCBs inside the device
If you did not try other videos of the same type , then 50 Lashes with a wet noodle to you too :-) Oh its the interview, it must be something they are doing to try and Stop me . Yea and there is a DMCA van with 2 investigators sitting outside in a van in front of your house, and 2 terrorist
@JourneymanGeek that too, i would prefer big over these new ideas of overlapping data writes , and cramming stuff together so much reliability drops any ammount.
and pull the power when they are moving sectors :-) Docks are great, drop in this or that raw disk like putting SD cards in a single reader. But I dont trust nothing so extra care with slopping them out is important.
@DragonLord let the server people hot-swap, things happen internally. but then again i am always in "performance" modes so not only that but there is data still hanging out in a cache too.
I want this specific hat :-) "start bounty during hanukkah" anybody have a question that needs or could use a huge X-mas bounty , in hopes that some drunk between x-mas an new years could possibly answer it?
@DragonLord Look up RDX. That's the enterprisey one designed for this purpose.
Can be painful to use, though.
And far more expensive than raw internal (or other consumer) HDDs :P
@DragonLord It doesn't come up as a tape drive. Just as a removeable disk.
Though Windows still has issues with RDX if you try it natively, and third-party support... depends on the backup product. Some will work with it, others won't.
Because my friend want help with putting his HDDs in RAID 5 1.5TB (250GB, 700GB, 500GB) (700GB, 700GB, 250GB) HDDs in () He wants to put in RAID 0 below RAID 5, So he can use the most space
@Andrew ya dont just slop a bunch of disks you have laying around and create a raid mess out of them :-) in the long run this would not be better than using them seperated
It is all kinds of fun and learning, and great way to recyle and all, but then just when your purring down the road of data, the whole thing drives off a clif and you spend 2 times as long setting it up trying to get it going again.
RAID: Why and When
RAID stands for Redundant Array of Independent Disks (some are taught "Inexpensive" to indicate that they are "normal" disks; historically there were internally redundant disks which were very expensive; since those are no longer available the acronym has adapted).
At the mos...
Desktop systems might be better off with seperated backups , as opposed to a hunk of hardware that has the same malware and viruses on it as the clone of the same :-)
Raid 1 is simple mirroring what goes on disk 1 also goes on disk 2 , either disk can fail, the data still exists on the one that has not failed. it is a Hardware backup, because if you changed deleted or completly screwed something up on disk 1, it would be just as screwed up on disk 2
Even a server using Raid 1 as the hardware backup method and to keep alive the server, would still have yet one more disk with that data backed up on it.
simple raid 0 , being totally dependant on Both drives working, can improve speed, then you must (even more) have a backup of the data that was on that, preferably not in a volitile raid configuration. Which mans I still have to more slowly move data to the backups.
It is not designed to protect your data. Hardware failure of a single drive is just one of the ways you can lose data - and RAID does nothing to help with the hundreds of other ways.
I use raid 0 to get 400MB/s speeds from one set of raid0 to another set of raid0 . with external detached backups that are synked to. Been actually doing that for more than 15 years, and have not lost anything. Sooo i guess i got stupid covered.
RAID 0 is for speed. And it still has its uses even in the SSD era - if you need a whole lot of raw speed with a lot of space, e.g. for raw video processing, a bunch of 2TB+ HDDs in RAID 0 could be useful.
A single HDD wouldn't cost that much in power usage over five years compared to nothing, let alone compared to an SSD (which does use non-negligible power)
If you have 2 disks, and you planned on moving data around, you actually get better speed moving data From one seperated hardware drive To the other seperate hardware drive. Even when I Tie 2 disk together in raid0 for speed, if i then move data from one partition on that array, to another parittion on that array it is slower :-( so for many peoples purposes , seperate drives can be faster than raid 0
There's a theory its someone else, and its a prank in a prank.
PROBLEM is the prime suspect are the guys behind the PS hack, and I don't think sony's console wing and the studio are actually part of the same organisation structure outside being owned by sony
the only way we'll find out is after the source code is completely analyzed, and even after that there's no guarantee
the malware spread throughout the network, though, just not at the main building - if those systems are interconnected at some point it's possible providing they have the same weaknesses
Circular hype, the more it is on the news, the more newsworthy it becomes, the more it is on the web the more stories are made up about it, the more stories that are made up about it, the more there is to report, including how many of them are just stories ?
SU has a tendancy to be isolated from millions of malware and virus posts, somehow they are all concidered duplicates. (for linux users they pretty much are :-)
Works out good for me, because reading through them and looking at the logs (which any log already explodes my head) it isnt so much the few bad things they got on, but the Arrays of crap they have running non-stop on the computers that they probably dont even use.
